yep syslog sucks.
as of now, our logger still based on syslog. its missing some stuff.
There is another logger which proved to work under memory pressure -
ha_logd from HA project. if I will have time, I'll merge some stuff from
ha_logd to log.[ch].

so, try ha_logd. Also I saw in your code mlockall() right after
syslog(). Could you explain why we need it? I think just one call at the
beginning phase should be enough unless you fork?
